Cyberpunk is the 2nd related aesthetic in Cassette Futurism page of the Aesthetics Wiki. There is some overlap.

Ah, explains why I'm so into cassette futurism or "vaporwave" lol

Yeah! Vaporwave, outrun / synthwave, retrowave, ... it's a bit of mess. Genre categorization is only useful up to a point :).
